At this point, I used my black marker to finish off some of the final darkening on the lights, as well as darkening all of the front openings and hood scoop opening.

In order to really make these lights look shiny, I'll need to apply a little bit of blue pastel on the bottom part of the headlights themselves. As I said, these are concave, so since the top part reflects the ground, the bottom part reflects the sky (hence the blue colour). For this, I'm again using Prismacolor Nupastel #225-P Iron Blue, but this time I applied it using a Q-Tip.

Because the outer bezels of the headlights are metal, I've going to add a small amount of grey pastel to give them that metallic finish. For this, I'm using my Prismacolor Nupastel #279-P Medium Cold Grey, again applied using a Q-Tip.

Remember what was done on the windshield? How I put some Iron blue pastel followed by some Magic Blue? Well, the headlights on this car are covered by clear plastic with a similar curvature as the windshield, so the same effect would apply. Here's the result:

And now to just finish this one up. With my Chrome Yellow and Cadmium orange markers, I'll finish up the side marker light, then with a couple of Cool Grey markers (#3 and #4) I'll spend some time on the wheels. Using my black, I'll finish up the tires, followed by the shadow next to the car. Then, using my white soft lead Prismacolor pencil, I'll complete some of the hightlights around the door openings, horizon line, etc... Here's the final product: I'll be bringing this drawing to our next class, but you can also see a nicer scan in the Winter 2005 Class Demonstrations section. To see it, click here.
